Absolutely. And you sure don't have to look very far...

So if I am interpreting the odds correctly, the Gophers have a 63% chance to not finish 8 or 9. Right? I am thinking we'll play really well this weekend. I'll call it a sweep. And we'll be headed to play in BUs bracket out east or to play in the ND bracket in Sioux Falls. Lots of hockey...

You were the one who took the time to post on how important it was for them to be there. Seems like you would have scanned the crowd if you felt that strongly about it. I guess we'll assume they had someone there.

So... did the coaching staff pass your test last night?

This prediction didn't age well. This has been awful to watch. I might have to start the Jack/Coke a bit early.

Is that a prediction or a want? Everyone seems to be on the Gopher bandwagon now, as the team has been playing really well. This will be a tough series in South Bend. I am really hoping for 2 wins but... that will be tough. I'd be happy with a win and a "tie". I'd be ecstatic with a...

100 percent correct. I don't recall a year where there were so many really good teams in college hockey. I'd say 1-8 are all serious contenders. And 9-12 are at least capable of winning it all as well.

I miss the sound of the public address guy. Think his name was Jules Perlt (sp?). Not sure when he retired but he was there through at least the 80s I think. I also miss the general mystique of the dome. Growing up in outstate MN, coming down to the 'The Cities' was a big deal for us...

I agree, 92. BC is the best team I have seen this year. And it won't be 80% Sioux fans in South Dakota. MN will have a great showing of fans there if we get placed in that regional. For those inquiring minds... Sioux Falls is closer to Minneapolis than it is to Grand Forks.

100% correct. I think our outside chance of climbing into a top 4 slot is now gone (we needed some help from Notre Dame this weekend, which we didn't get). Still a shot at the #5 overall though. We need to keep winning (duh). And we need MSU to play .500 hockey the rest of the way. That...

Good win tonight. Solid series. I'm happy. Loved the Lamb Huglen Kurth line this weekend. Hoping Thomas is back quickly. Hoping Snuggy can put some away next weekend. Enjoy this one. Beat Notre Dame.

Those were dumb penalties for sure. I have a hunch that this was discussed in the locker room between the 2nd and 3rd.

Thanks 92. It was a great time, great atmosphere! And yeah... that extended penalty kill was awesome. If we get another win tomorrow, I'll really enjoy the Super Bowl party we're going to, and I'll be one happy camper heading up 169 on Monday.

You should tell him this. Maybe he is unaware of the portal. Or maybe, just maybe.... he didn't think he could get an upgrade to those Dmen you mention. Or maybe, just maybe... he has a philosophy of "I am only going to take players from the portal if they are head and shoulders better...

UND is not going to be a #1 seed because of their D corps. We have 4 D who are NHL draft choices, UND has 2, both of them freshmen. Would you trade our D men for UND's? I would not.

Yeah... I am sure Motzko is sitting on his a$$, cocktail in hand, thinking... "hey we are good to go for next year. That includes goalie and all positions. No need to keep recruiting vey hard."

Anyone else fired up for this weekend? I only get to Mariucci a few times a year and I will be there for both games this weekend. Can't wait. More importantly it's an important series. I am really hoping the boys can come through with a sweep and a full six points. Maybe it can be the...

If we go 5-1 and win the Big Ten tourney, we could sneak our way into a #1 seed. We'd need some help from a few others. Most notably... Wisconsin, Maine, Denver need a few losses. That said, I am not optimistic this will happen. I'm thinking it is a success if we can land a #2 seed...

That's actually a fair point. I could have lived with that call much easier. I could make an argument that Nelson should have been called in that instance. I can see it the other way too. But if the ref decided that it wasn't a penalty, then the goal should have stood, 1000%.
